Abstract

A satellite broadcast receiving converter includes a feedhorn to which a satellite broadcast radio wave is input, a circuit board on which a converting element for receiving and converting the satellite broadcast radio wave to an electric signal is mounted, and a support case which is provided on the periphery on the back end side of the feedhorn, and which supports and positions the circuit board at a position at which the satellite broadcast radio wave can be received. The feedhorn and the support case are made of synthetic resin formed by plating a surface of the synthetic resin with metal. At least the opening surface side surface and the inner side surface which serves as a waveguide path of the feedhorn are plated with metal. At least the inner side surface of the support case positioned between the inner wall of the feedhorn and a ground pattern of the circuit board is plated with metal. Further, the cross-sectional surface of a corner section surrounded by two or more wall surfaces of the metal-plated sections of the feedhorn and the support case is formed into an arc shape so as not to allow an air space to be formed at the time of plating.
